I get annoyed when people cry over a clebs death but I think to myself...what about the people who protect our country...
Who knows what I mean.

Oh a cleb is a celebrity. That took me a sec.

Anyways, yeah I agree with you, but it reminds me of one of those saying:

"1 person dies and it's a tragedy. 10,000 people die and it's a statistic"

It seems easier for people to mourn one victim than a huge group of people. You'll see the same reaction with a missing person than, let's say, victims of a suicide-bombing attack.

Makes me sick. You almost never hear about the firemen who are horribly maimed or die in the line of duty.
No, the general public would much rather find out more about some starlet's BM habits.

I mean, they.

Or when you do, it's for something big like 9/11. Then the TV crews do interviews galore like they don't ignore the existence of the fire brigade most of the time.

Or maybe not. I'm slow today.

Are you missing an e somewhere? I have no idea what a "cleb" is.

Celebrities.

Ah, got it.

You do have a point, but the simple matter of it is people conform to the social norms of looking up to a celeb. and so they see them as a role-model or even a parent type figure, utterly stupid I think but true to a large portion of people, but people doesn’t have this with soldiers (or at least the large majority) and so few people actually give a damn. But I think you are right, it is stupid but on the same pint I agree somewhat with whitesidevampire- people shouldn't get valued lives purely on their job, especially if a soldier is fighting an arguably unwarranted war.
